adesso AG: Based on preliminary figures, earnings forecast for 2013 will be
achieved / Executive Board will propose raising dividend by 17 % to EUR
0.21 per share

Based on preliminary figures for financial year 2013, with sales of EUR 136
million, adesso generated EBITDA of EUR 7.8 million, placing it within the
full-year annual operating earnings guidance of EUR 7.5 million to EUR 8.0
million. At EUR 136 million, sales slightly exceeded the forecast. In the
fourth quarter, the positive development of business with own solutions and
products in particular partially offset the reported expenses resulting
from a major project (EUR 0.9 million).

On the basis of these figures, the Executive Board will propose to the
Supervisory Board raising the dividend by 17 %, from EUR 0.18 per share to
EUR 0.21 per share.
